Haven't a Clue

Just a quick update to say that I don't really know just what I want to paint, so I'm not painting -- writing a short story instead and discovering all the music I've missed -- millions and millions of tunes -- on lala.com   I have my work cut out for me if I'm to make amends.

I might also add that I painted over that last painting, the straw that broke the camel's back.

Pasture in Snow

 
This is another plan B painting. Draws a lot from the small painting I did earlier in the week. It's been that kind of a week.

Square Blue

 
This is just another place holder -- though I must have worked on this particular board for two days and had nothing but scraped paint to show for it. This is a minor improvement.   My main project this week is to do a snow scene on a sunny day -- last week it was during the snow storm which I had no problem painting. It's just that sunny days are not my thing.  I have an idea for tomorrow, so we'll see. Otherwise its a watercolor style painting for the rest of the week.

A Fence Line in Winter

 
What a difference a week can make. Last week I had ideas to paint and I was mostly able to paint them. This week I haven't a clue. This little sketch was just to keep from really feeling bad about not having done anything...
